the Motions

Here a map Now step by step Go through the Motions. Don’t look back on The lives and ponder; Just learn. You may bleed. You might have a scare or two, but It’s worth it. The treasure is worth it. Wrong I’ve played through the Motions, It’s too much to handle. I don’t want to handle this, I only don’t want my heart To scream for mercy. I’m scared of the Motions. I don’t want to be unloved. Am I not pretty? Clothes aren’t good enough? Is my weight a problem? Tell me now. I want to be loved. I want the man of my dreams To look me in the eye and say, “You’re done with the motions.” Well, We all want what we can’t have.
